DESTINATION GUIDE

Kigali: A Captivating Introduction to Rwanda

Kigali
Kigali is more than a stopover — it’s an urban safari destination in its own right. As one of Africa’s cleanest, greenest capitals, it blends culture, history, and nature.

Explore chic boutiques or lively markets, and visit the State House and Natural History museums for city views and heritage. The Kigali Genocide Memorial, set in beautiful gardens, offers a powerful tribute to Rwanda’s past.

Whether you’re soaking in the city’s charm or gearing up for a Big 5 or gorilla trekking safari, Kigali is the perfect introduction to Rwanda’s incredible landscapes and wildlife.
